Episode 34 — Risk Frameworks in Practice

This episode examines risk frameworks for AI security, focusing on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001. These frameworks provide structured approaches to identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor AI-specific risks across technical and organizational domains. For certification exams, learners must understand how these frameworks map to real-world controls and governance practices. The relevance lies in demonstrating how structured risk management enables organizations to move beyond ad hoc responses and implement scalable, repeatable processes for AI system security.The applied discussion highlights how organizations implement NIST AI RMF categories such as govern, map, measure, and manage, or adopt ISO/IEC 42001 requirements for AI management systems. Scenarios include conducting structured risk assessments for retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, documenting mitigation strategies for privacy leakage, and aligning board reporting with framework metrics. Troubleshooting considerations include balancing framework adoption with organizational maturity, avoiding checklist-style compliance, and ensuring that frameworks drive actionable improvements. For exam preparation, learners must be able to compare frameworks, recognize their strengths and limitations, and apply them pragmatically to AI security environments.
